How long does this fragrance typically last?+−
Like many of the more potent Xerjoff offerings, Zanzibar features exceptional longevity. It stays noticeable on the skin for over ten hours and can linger on fabrics for weeks if not washed.
Is this a good choice for a summer fragrance?+−
Most users find Zanzibar too heavy and resinous for high heat. Its spicy, woody, and animalic notes are best suited for the cooler temperatures of fall and winter, particularly for night-out occasions.
Does Zanzibar lean more masculine or feminine?+−
While categorized as unisex, the heavy emphasis on tobacco, oud, and cedar gives it a traditionally masculine profile that is deeply woody and earthy rather than floral or sweet.
How strong is the projection on this scent?+−
The sillage is quite powerful. Given its animalic and woody accords, a small amount goes a long way, and it is known to create a significant scent trail that fills a room.
